BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (the 'Company') announced today that it has closed on the refinance of its senior secured seven-year term loan. The refinance launched at $250 million but was increased to $300 million due to strong demand from institutional investors. The term loan amortizes at a rate of $3 million per year and bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.25 percent, a 75 basis point reduction in interest spread from the Company's existing senior credit facility. Wells Fargo served as Administrative Agent and Joint Lead Arranger with JPMorgan.

Proceeds from the offering will be used to repay the Company's existing senior secured term loan of $165 million, fund strategic acquisition opportunities, grow its asset management platform, increase balance sheet lending capabilities, and support dividend payments and share repurchase activities.
